Join us on Sunday, December 7th from 9-11am for our annual Special Santa event at Eastwood Mall.
This year’s event is sponsored by the Cafaro Foundation to keep costs minimal for families. Thank you, Cafaro Foundation, for your continued support.
Cost is: $10 per family (this includes one 5×7 photo per family or $10 off your photo package and event craft stations).
This is a special sensory-sensitive event designed specifically for our autistic individuals and their families who experience challenges visiting Santa in a traditional setting. If your autistic child finds the hustle and bustle of Santa photo sessions too overwhelming, this event is intended to provide a more comfortable and accessible experience.
We will be set up just past the food court.
We will have plenty of holiday crafts and games too! Train operator has been notified and is planning on attending for the kids. Open to individuals with autism and their siblings. The photo can be taken just of the child (children) with Santa or with parent(s) too. 1 photo per family unless there is no wait, in order to get in all of the families.
Please write down your time when you are registering as we have a small staff and may not be able to return calls/emails regarding your family’s time.
Your registered time is your time to visit with Santa and we will do our best to keep our Santa visits on time. You can enjoy the crafts, games, and train rides before or after your time with Santa. If you are registered for the 10:30-11am timeframe, please arrive earlier if you want to enjoy crafts too. We have to end the event at 11am due to the mall opening to the public.
